Hello! I have recently been able to speak at the Fayetteville Public Library and they recorded it on Livestream. There's something about listening to spoken-word poems instead of just reading them, so I'm pasting the link here in case you wanted to listen! <3 Cassondra https://livestream.com/faylib/2ndSunday/videos/172984295

Do you know the plans I have for you? The grandeur of the Tapestry We weave The fullness of My Love for you Is greater than anything you’d ever dream It comes through blessing and through joy Through sorrow and loss, too All possible ways I employ To send My Love to you And even that which isn’t Me Becomes all that I AM Even through darkness you will see The greatness of My plan To love you and be loved by you To know you and be known Oh expression of My Truth, You shall be glory shown.

Freewill and sovereignty oppose and we’re not sure of all we know As we attempt to navigate this life But I’ve a view some steps above, so I can see the shape of Love As by my faith my vision is made sight And I’m subject to the stars of fate, but I’m the one who chose their place Partnering in spirit and in truth With He who made us who we are, now I’m creator of the stars And together We make all things absolute Walking on a path that’s straight, I can seem to hesitate I’m not sure of what I don’t understand For I’ve complete freewill and choice, but sovereignty still has a voice And my life’s path has already been planned But if I ascend above the Tapestry, beyond a single Thread I’ll see How choice and sovereignty are really One For before time We made Our choices and yet right here in this moment We alter works that have always been done Now as the maker of the stars, I can attest to where We are As I bend and submit to Holy Will Who ...

Faith is not a battle tool, Love is not an option Yahweh’s Word does not need proof But it will always cost Him Choice to make the worlds that are Dying lets us be And We shall manifest Our Heart So Our worlds can be seen Faith lets us lay down Our Lives Courage so to make Worlds of neverending Light As they of Us partake The great exchange of give and take As Life now comes from death This is why We need such faith; From battles we can rest. 

Once there was a baby born, In sleepy little town The One who made the universe Did so by laying Himself down And there above in Heaven’s skies A holy parallel, A new-created Universe The brightest star did tell And star in sky was in manger, too The universe in infant Heart His Love was the Light that caused star to shine And thus the new world has been wrought And oh can you see in dirt of stable’s grime The purity of Heaven’s star For you will see in one way if in other ways not, For all declare glory to God Glory to Yahweh in every way I will see You where You are By this the universes will ever be made From the Unity of Our One Heart And beautiful star shining up in the sky No greater or less than the babe Who lays in the manger on this Holy Night, The pure and full Love of Yahweh. *** Merry Christmas 2017 <3 Cassondra 

Once again I’m asked to let go of everything, Like Job writhing in his ashes, I am surrounded with the loss and the suffering As all that I thought I knew slips away from my fingertips, Slowly bleeding into a vapor, a mist, A shadow of nothingness, And formlessness and void I tremble, I weep, I wonder, How many times will You ask me to give it all? How many worlds will be destroyed by the continual movement of Our dancing? How many times will We be made new? And why is this the pattern We have chosen? Why must one world seem to end for another to begin? And what can I learn from this time of darkness and suffering and loss? And I let it go and give it all… And there when nothing is around me, I find there’s only You in the ashes of the worlds, In the center of it all, Our United Heartbeat, And I realize that’s all I ever needed, For worlds are only for a time, But Love always remains And somehow eternity does not mean that all th...

Come and see what We can be When We are all together Come and know the True Glory Of united perfection And in Your Hearts with Us unite As You come to remember And in remembering recognize Your own place in forever Never broken, never lost And never in the darkness You have always been the Light Now come and see Your Fullness And in Your Glory feel the Love We had in all Our Being For You have always been enough, So come to fullest seeing.
